I was wondering if many of you totally dropped the font tags in favor of an all 100% CSS site? The font tags when removed shrinks all pages by a good margin and now that most browsers reads CSS I thought I would make the switch.

What do you all think?

My site has a LOT of graphics but also has some articles, tutorials and news...should I go all CSS?

What do you use as the font size? I tried using points, pixels, percentage and it's never the same in IE 5.01, NS 4.75 and NS 6!

The more I read about font size in CSS the more it's getting complicated...I have read about 20 different opinions and it seems that there is no standard at all!

Anyways, if someone uses large fonts on a 15" or 17" at 1024x768 or so let me know...I hate either too small or too large fonts and up to now the font size 2 was working great but this doesn't work in CSS.

Cheers!

Note: seems that Arial with 14px works great in IE 5.01 and NS6...it's slightly smaller in NS 4.75 but it's as close as I can get.

I use either pt or px, and they look pretty much the same size to me in IE, NS4 and NS6.

The real buggers are things like small, x-small, etc. They're the ones that allow you to resize manually by the user's browser in IE, which could be useful for the main content, since some people have bad eyesight.
